Axis Bank: Loan issued to customer without his knowledge

In a recent incident in Shahpur, Gorakhpur, a case of fraud has been filed against Axis Bank employees and cyber criminals. The victim, Rajeev Singh, a resident of Kudwa in the Shyamdeurwa area of Maharajganj district, reported that money was withdrawn from his account without his knowledge, and a personal loan was taken in his name.

According to Rajeev Singh, on April 2, he tried to withdraw money from his Axis Bank account to fill petrol in his car, but the transaction was unsuccessful. When he visited the bank, he was informed that Rs 22,000 had already been withdrawn from his account, and a personal loan of Rs 3 lakh had been taken without his permission. Rajeev Singh alleges that this could not have happened without the involvement of bank employees.

The Shahpur police have registered a case and are currently investigating the matter. It is not clear at this time how the fraudsters gained access to Rajeev Singh’s account and were able to withdraw money and take a loan without his knowledge.

This incident is not an isolated case. There have been several instances of fraud and embezzlement in the district, where cyber criminals and bank employees have been involved in defrauding customers and the banks themselves. In September of the previous year, Shahpur police registered a case of fraud against unknown bank employees for forcibly issuing a credit card.

It is important for individuals to remain vigilant and regularly monitor their bank accounts for any suspicious activity. If any unauthorized transactions are detected, it is advisable to report them to the bank immediately and file a complaint with the local authorities.
